First pitch fastball and then just junk pitches that we swing at over and over and over.

Weak AB to start the inning.

It's kind of tough to do stuff when you put about 1 in 3 balls in play, and 1 in 10 of those hit hard.

Why, he's made one mistake pitch. He's killing this lineup

We can't hit him, why wouldn't they send him back out?

Seriously, jesus christ, does this team even have a hitting coach??? What the hell are they doing out there????

We're in trouble...

this guy throws the same pitch over and over and we just swing at it like good puppets

Put in Gore.

Ouch

This is your moment, Gordo

That was a dirty ****ing pitch.

Pinch runner?

Cock sucking mother ****er ****ing pitcher

Thank God.

Luckily they pulled him.

They have no idea.

Gotta make them pay.



(by getting him home)

:eek:

ROFLROFLROFLROFLROFL

Season-high in pitches, third-time-through-the-lineup penalty, two lefty hitters up ... that's playing with fire.

They did.

Put in Gore or Dyson

Two freakin' hits. Two.

Gore

These guys couldn't hit the ball off a goddamn tee right now!

Do we waste a pinch runner with Gordon, Rios, and Esky coming up?

Steal 2nd & 3rd?

Risky, but I think I'd have done the same.

He has been locked in for 4 innings. That 'junk' the Royals keep swinging through isn't junk at all - he's got that power breaker snapping hard and late.

He was definitely their best bet to get through that inning unscathed. Him losing that fastball was the best thing that could've happened for KC because I just don't see how they'd have straightened him out.

This wasn't like when he left in Kazmir, who was up in the zone and had no secondary pitches to speak of. McCullers was firing.

Terrance Gore rules.

Get 'em on, check.
Get 'em over, check.

oh boy. Gore does what he's paid to do.

Just need ONE ****ING HIT now.

STEAL 3rd!!!! NOW GO GO GO GO GO!

Steal 3rd?

JFC we can't hit a curve ball for shit

Gordon, you steaming pile of dogshit

And strike out.

Gordon is horrendous right now.

Damnit!

Better question - with Sipp and Perez in the 'pen, why do you go to Harris against the lefty Gordon?

Perez and Sipp have the platoon advantage, Perez has looked particularly sharp and both guys (being lefty) should've been able to hold the runner at 1b a little better.

That's a really odd call by Hinch but Gordon bailed him out by swinging at some pretty poor pitches.

Christ.

Gordon is worthless.

And Gordon sucks

We haven't had hits at all with RISP. Not much confidence in it here either.

Gore is the best base stealer I've seen ... I'm ok with him going to 3rd if need be

Way to choke it away, Gordon....wow

Man Gordo's been bad

Sucking ass in the batters box.

****ing Gordon is completely useless. ****.

Is there no one on the bench who can pinch hit for this turd?

Great AB Gordo. Glad we didn't waste Gore stealing 3rd.

oh shit ... rios up with 2 outs


:sulk:

Rios?

LMAO

I don't re-sign Gordon.

Welp, there's that I guess...

Runner on 2nd...1 out..here comes back-back K's....

Ok, you'll need to steal home now.

Way to swing at a pitch RIGHT BY YOUR HEAD.

Another 3 pitch strikeout?

Now steal home please.

Safe awesome steal

Can Gore steal home too? I think that's the only chance they have.

Past ball please.

Gore's on third, cool. Too bad we have a worthless sack of shit at the plate with two outs.

great steal but too little too late.....Rios won't get a hit...

might as well steal home

It doesn't matter, 2 out and there's no sac fly option with him at 3rd


we need a base hit or wild pitch

What is Gordon doing?

Pretty much.

See if Rios can see more than 3 pitches before striking out.

He is out

JFC if they call him out here.

He's out.

Need a wild pitch

He's out at third.

So.... wild pitch it is.

He's safe...WTF are they even talking about?

Oh, FFS.

Maybe you guys should hope for a wild pitch?

Out.

our runners never stay on the ****ing base


seriously, how gawd dam stupid do you have to be
